Nero himself is glowing bright blue as he lands, the light coming from markings on his skin that quickly fade]
That's more like it. Try an' stab those things before they yank it away again, yeah?

[pats his bound hand on nero's shoulder]

Re: Day 259 Imp Event

[leaning. closer. and closer. to nero's neck]

Nero pokes his forehead and pushes Raven's head back.]
Dude. I think you're vampiring.
Re: Day 259 Imp Event

[brings a hand up to his mouth and ends up poking his finger with his fangs, jerking back]

Re: Day 259 Imp Event
Oh. That explains it.
Re: Day 259 Imp Event
The aesthetic's complete.

[he is. curling his fingers around nero's wrist and pressing his thumb to his pulse]
